Marriage Story

MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND CATHERINE ZETA-JONES : HOW DO THEY STAY MARRIED?

Being married to Michael Douglas couldn’t be a walk in the park, and frankly, we’re surprised that Catherine Zeta-Jones has hung on so long! Catherine met Michael in 1999 and married him in 2000, in spite of the fact that he was a legendary Hollywood womanizer. They had two young children when Michael was diagnosed with oral cancer and worried Catherine nursed him back to health. We can only imagine her embarrassment when Michael remarked that he blamed his cancer on too much oral sex. Catherine checked into a psychiatric clinic more than once and the pair separated for awhile. We figured they‘d split after their kids hit their teens, but no. They are back on track and looking good. Above, Michael was honored at the Paley Center for his long career. (Michael and Catherine were both born on September 25 – but 25 years apart!)

“MARRIAGE STORY”- THE FUNNY AND NOT-SO-FUNNY SIDES OF DIVORCE

We took one look at this photo from the Venice Film Festival and immediately we wanted to see the movie these people are promoting. Don’t know why, but suddenly a film starring Adam Driver, Laura Dern, and Scarlett Johansson, seems very appealing – especially after a summer of mindless action movies. They’re starring in Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story – a funny drama about a west coast-east coast divorce. (Possibly similar to one Noah recently survived) Adam and Scarlett are the splitting couple, and Laura plays a ruthless lawyer. Reviews have been amazing, so we’re eagerly anticipating the November release.
